Ballroom Dancers

Every time I pick up my camera I'm having fun. But often I am shooting for someone else (a wedding, a family portrait, senior photos, etc). Every now and then I get to just go out and have some fun. And that's what this was. FUN!

Morgan Leigh Newey and I had been talking about doing pictures for a little while and came up with the idea of doing some kind of ballroom dance type of photo shoot. And I love taking pictures of dancers! If you ever want to make a picture look good, try putting a dancer in it. It's like an automatic upgrade! :)

We got to talking about shooting at the Salt Lake City Library. I had shot some architectural pictures of the library almost 6 years ago and have been intrigued with it every since.

Morgan contacted Mike Hansen and asked if he would join us for the photo shoot. Mike is very experienced and was a wonderful addition to the photo session.

Below are a few of my favorite images from the session. Click any image to jump onto my web site to see the rest of the images.











And my favorite head shots of Morgan and Mike:

What Every Bride Needs

What every bride needs (besides a great photographer), is an AWESOMELY DISTINCTIVE pair of shoes!

Meet Cory and Mel

I've been enjoying this idea of following a couple around on a date while taking their engagement pictures. It's so much fun to be the "fly on the wall" while watching and recording two people in love.

This time I got to meet Cory and Mel (Melissa) this past Tuesday. It was BRRRRR Freezing Cold down in the valley and we were the smart ones wanting to go up to Park City (even COLDER) for outdoor engagement pictures. Cory is from here, but Mel is Brazilian. This time of year it is summer in Brazil and Mel probably would have preferred to spend her time on the beaches in Rio. If Cory and Mel weren't such a Hot Couple they probably would have frozen! What a delightfully fun couple! I look forward to doing their pictures on wedding day.

Here are some of the fun shots we got on Tuesday. Starting with snow tubing and then heading to historic main street in Park City.

  





  

































  



















Here's a fun video slide show I put together for the couple, including a few seconds of actual video showing how fun they are together:
